Our guest this episode is Annie Vernon, Olympic silver medallist and a two time world champion rower. Her book analysing the psychology of professional sport won the British Sports Book Awards in 2020.

Now retired from rowing, the Cambridge alumni juggles the responsibilities of working in marketing and communications for LAPS, an organisation that connects ex-athletes with support and employers with being an accomplished corporate speaker, journalist, and writer.

During the show, Annie discusses her journey in elite sport, winning an Olympic medal, competing in a home Games and the process behind her award winning book “Mind Games”.
